Moon - A Closeup

Jupiter was visible tonight, so were some stars. Unfortunatley the Moon is so bright, there's no point in trying to image them, the light will just wash them out! Not to mention the odd firework, bonfire and associated smog from this evenings displays.
So with nothing else to image, I pointed the telescope towards our closest neighbour (again...)

Used a Celestron 6" SCT, on a CG-5 non-goto mount, very roughly polar aligned - just enough for the motors to keep the moon in the FOV. 2x Barlow all attached to a Philips SN900C. Total of 1350 frames, all stacked and aligned in registax.
